I am new to this forum, so apologise if this question is not well put:
I have a dell 5000 series PC (about 8 months old). It has a dvd burner, which I have recently started to use to make back-up copies of kids films. I use dvd decrypter to rip the dvd and then dvd shrink to burn the new one. I have lost a lot of dvd's due to scratches, so intend to give the kids the back-up copies to use daily and keep the original pristine. However, I find that the copies are usually poor and 4 out of 5 will freeze at some point and are then unplayable. I have checked the surfaces and they are as new.
Is this a general thing I have to accept or due to some sort of copy protection or is it due to the media or due to me? I realise I have not given much detail (I am at work), but if you need to know anything about my set-up to able to answer, please ask and I'll find out tonight (please keep it simple, not too much tech jargon!).
Thanks
